The summary is that no, there's no evidence they were using fake candidates.

For anyone who actually cares about the truth:
One of the main people the Graun and others accused being fake had touched up his picture with AI, so that must mean he's an entirely fake person. He isn't, and appeared in news shows and social media clips to prove otherwise.
Another thing is when candidates didn't have much in the way of details on the listing pages. This isn't terribly unusual, and the vid showed how some other party candidates in the same constituency as one of the examples also had no details.
"Paper candidates" are used by most smaller parties - someone who won't win their seat but only exists to get votes which will count toward the "popular vote."

reform will have a big enough job defending the behaviour of their mp's over the coming months

Exactly, attack them for issues which are actually there instead of making some up .

You know that you love it really LT.

You want an MP to identify as a Spivak.

Reform UK is a limited company. Farage can do as he wants with it. It in no way resembles a proper political party

[Crimson Dynamo]

Makes sense to give the position to a sitting MP

This guy won by 98 votes

A newly elected Reform MP said he was “deeply sorry” after it emerged he had spent a week in a young offenders institution nearly 20 years ago for assaulting a former girlfriend.

James McMurdock, who won the South Basildon and East Thurrock seat at the general election by just 98 votes from Labour, admitted the incident and said it had happened on a drunken night out.

The Daily Mail, which first revealed the details, said it had spoken to the victim’s mother, who said Mr McMurdock had “left marks” on her daughter’s body.

In a statement, Mr McMurdock said: “This is the biggest regret of my life and I wish I could go back and fix things.”

'Law breakers can't be law makers'
Reform returned five MPs at the general election. The most high-profile was Nigel Farage, who won in Clacton, but little was known about Mr McMurdock, who was described by his leader as a “paper candidate” who had joined the party only in May.

Rival parties said Mr McMurdock, 38, should have explained his past to the electorate before polling day.

Gavin Callaghan, the Labour leader of Basildon Borough Council, posted on X: “Law breakers can’t be law makers. This is a deeply disturbing story about our new MP in South Basildon and East Thurrock.

“If Reform UK knew about his criminal record before the election, why were they not honest about this with the public?”

According to the Daily Mail, Mr McMurdock pleaded guilty to one count of assault at Chelmsford Crown Court. He was working as a barman at the time.

In the report, the woman’s mother said there was “no way he should be an MP”.

Reform told the newspaper it was aware of the conviction but “believe strongly that people can change their lives”.

He is an inspiration to all lags that you can turn your life around for the better

A Reform candidate with a conviction for domestic violence? Well I for one am SHOCKED by this news. Shocked that he was convicted, obviously, because most simply get away with it.
